A blog of letters from an older father to his young son... Meant for an audience of one- shared with you.

Meet my mom and dad
Dear JJ,
This last weekend you were introduced to my parents - your grandparents. Seven weeks old and they finally got to meet you.
Here is the photo from when I put you in my mom's arms. Funny thing- both my parents in their 80's - they both hold a baby with expert skill.
When you were fussing a bit my mom, who has a hard time seeing things - was able to calm you down and hold you like an expert. It was over 50 years ago that they held me !
It was a great weekend- you also got to meet your uncle, Ron - who got to have a photo holding you while you held the cap he wore 60 years ago (we even have a photo of him with the cap on). We met my aunt, Randi - and my cousin Elise.
And, you got to meet Bev - who was married to my brother Jimmy - for whom you are named.
Son, this was the best weekend since you were born! You travel like a pro- (sleep mostly and get free drinks on the plane) - .
Ok, Son- I am so happy you are in all of our lives-- you bring endless smiles.
Love,
Dad
